My hometown is actually one of the very few places where tapas are still free.

You can easily go out drinking cañas (short beer glasses, about a fifth of a pint) and eat on the tapas. They charge 1.20 euro each.

They are called tapas (lids) because the saucer would be placed on the glass to prevent flies from falling into the drink.

Right now, with the olive harvest coming, I'd have you trying 'aceitunas de cornezuelo' which are the finest olives, rugby-ball-shaped, usually prepared in brine by the families, as a prelude to harvest time, which starts early december.

I like bars where gypsies go, because any time they would just start dancing, if the music is good

A good level, meaning a helping hand, technical if necessary, lively if appropriate. Also meaning famous, recognised as valuable.

What do you mean with pursuant? That's an excellent word!

I try to go with the flow, but every person has his/her own peculiarities.

Are you pursuant with the website, crotalito? I think everyone is, in one way or another.

I am a perfectionist, I think if being pursuant means accepting anything as good, things will never improve. I am not submissive.

If being pursuant means accepting other people's peculiarities, count me in.

Back on the topic? I just saw this about using competencia as a translation for competition....

Hablo por lo que oigo en México. Para fútbol se utiliza partido, o encuentro. Y competencia para juegos olímpicos como carreras, natación, etc. A veces puedes oír competición pero muy poco.

Durante el partido/encuentro se dio un mal arbitraje.
El nadador norteamericano ganó en la competencia de natación.

I found these examples on the net:

...las reglas para la calificacion de la competencia de clavados en los juegos olimpicos...
¿En que juegos olímpicos debutó la competencia de lanzamiento de martillo para mujeres?
¿Cuándo son las competencias de tae kwon do en los juegos olímpicos?
